About The Record:

Christmas Greetings from Nashville (RCA), is a compilation featuring various country music artists recorded at RCA's famed "Nashville Sound" Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Produced by notable figures like Ronny Light, Danny Davis, Anita Kerr, Jerry Gradley, Chet Atkins, and Felton Jarvis, the album includes tracks such as Eddy Arnold’s Silent Night, Skeeter Davis’ Christmas Times A-Coming, and Jim Reeves’ An Old Christmas Card, showcasing the era's country music talent. Historically significant for its role in capturing the Nashville Sound, the album reflects the city's prominence as a recording hub, with RCA Studio B being a key venue for country and pop hits from 1957 to 1977. While the album itself did not produce chart-topping singles, its tracks contributed to the enduring popularity of classic country Christmas music, with songs like Porter Wagoner’s Frosty The Snowman adding to the festive catalog. The album, also available on Stereo 8 (APS1-0262), remains a collector’s item, valued for its representation of Nashville’s musical heritage during the early 1970s.
